Just saw one of these - in green - in traffic. Most photos of this new body style don't do the car justice (this one does, I think), but the green makes it even cooler.

Car & Driver used a Green Golf R in their comparison test against the STI Impreza and Focus RS. I really like how it looks in dark green.

This is so good looking on the car, but sadly not a US market color. Yet again we are limited to VWs limited color selection, for some reason. Always wanted a green GTI or even a dark purple like they offer in the European market along with a large selection of other colors.
 
Yeah, that kinda annoys me on how some car companies give the US the short end of the stick with it comes to color choices.

Also, another Grabber blue Mustang to post. The Shelby GT350 has it too!

I found out a little while back that one of the 400 Ferrari Enzos built was finished in Dino Rosso (orange).

I saw this car a couple years ago at Cars&Coffee Irvine. In pictures, it doesn't look much different than standard Rosso Corsa, but in person it's actually really orange. That dealer ordered a Challange Stradale in Rosso Dino too.
 
Looking through old show photos...

Of course a Lambo looks good in loud colors

Love how this GTX wears orange

The green suits the curvy body, I think
 
Not sure if these have been shown already but here goes..

The BA and FG Ford Falcons look beautiful in some odd colours, such as:

Phantom Purple (I wanted an xr6 in that colour for my first car, I'm also digging those FPV GT stripes)

In this bright green too, won't miss it in a carpark

And of course the orange, same as above, but would be perfect with black wheels IMO

I also have a soft spot for this (teal?)

But Holden Commodores also look pretty sweet with the same sort of purple..
